Later Life

Moberg lived the last years of his life with depression, and eventually he committed suicide by drowning himself in a lake outside his house. He left a note to his wife saying: "The time is twenty past seven; I go to search in the lake for eternal sleep. Forgive me, I could not endure.". Moberg was buried in Norra begravningsplatsen in Stockholm.

Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “Shall life succeed in that it seems to fail:
    What I aspired to be,
    And was not, comforts me:”
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    “Some things in life are bad
    They can really make you mad
    Other things just make you swear and curse
    When you’re chewing on life’s gristle
    Don’t grumble, give a whistle
    And this’ll help turn things out for the best ...
    And ... always look on the bright side of life.”
    —Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Mr. Frisbee III (Eric Idle)
